Liverpool U18s produced a fine display on Saturday morning to defeat Everton 4-0 in the mini-derby at Finch Farm.
Coach Marc Bridge-Wilkinson was able to welcome back Tyler Morton, Lee Jonas and Luca Stephenson to the starting line-up, and the Reds started brightly.
A nice exchange of passes brought the ball to James Balagizi and the midfielder’s powerful shot left the crossbar shaking.
The Reds took the lead just after the quarter-hour mark when Everton failed to properly clear a corner. The ball was recycled to Melkamu Frauendorf, who produced a wonderful turn and finish for the German youth international’s first goal for the club.
